There are sovor.il great outllelds in the

no easy matter to determine , but it is safe to
say that thnro nro but few in the country
Unit excel either Kansas City or Milwaukee.

tory than Smith , Burns and Hoover , and
where can three bettor men than Poorman ,
Dairymplo and Pettit bo found ! They are all
dead sure catches , fine base runners und
Htout hittors. Another splendid outllcld is
that of Minneapolis. Carroll , Minnohun and

runner in the whole association. St. Paul , so
far as Holding itself is concerned , is pretty
well llxod in Abbey , Murphy , and Duly ,
though they cannot ho ranked in the company
above mentioned. Murphy , while ho is u
magnificent lly-caU-hor , is weak In throwing.
With Denver und Dea Moines it's ' about i\

fastest und hardest hitting outfield that over

was no soaioii fur the investment of big
money , as from the very start the outlook for
the gumo was most discouraging. The
brotherhood put a damper on the enthusiasm
of the mo-it liberal ami ardent ndTnirott } of

about stopping forward und. putting up tUolr

When the general break-up carne last fall
Omaha sold a quartette of her best players ,
and she did n wise thing , as every ono of the
players disposed of would have jumped the
club anyway , and the local management
would Imvo been out of pocket several thou
sand dollnrs. This , of course , loft the club
in bad shape to build upon for the coming
season. But President , McConnick went
bravely to work und secured the very best
material at hand for a new start. How well
ho succeeded can bo seen by the work
of the club. Under the circum
stances the team has done well , and with
ono more good pitcher and ono more skillful
fielder in the beginning , it is safe to say that
today Omaha would bo ono of thu most con
spicuous aggregations In the race. But they
will do better from this on , that is assured.
Now players in Phalen , Collins
und Martin have been added to
the roster , and the team Is now on
an cquul footing with the strongest in tlio
association. All the defeats sustained by
them from this on out , will bo by a superior
order of play on the part of the opposition anil
not through the weak and purilo efforts of the
Black Sox. A little inoro liberal attendance ,
too , would bo a powerful incentive to still
better work and bo an encouragement the
management would surely not overlook. A
handful of people ut the week-day games ,
with a fair crowd on Sundays , is notsufll-
ciont to sustain uvon a second-rate club in
the Western association , and the sooner
patrons recognize this cogent truth the bet
ter the condition of things all round.
Too Strong to Pluy Hull.
The Kansas City basaball team still con
tinues the laughing stock of the baseball
world. Every man and boy in the country
who knows anything about the came allows a
four-ply smile to crack his face every time bo
sees a Cowboy score. At their present guit
they nro "capping out" about ono victory to
every four defeats. The directory thought
Hackott was hoodooing them , so ho was given
the "ran" and the managerial lines put
in the hands of contumacious Jimmy
Manning. This , it is supposed , is u
sort of reward for till of Manning's
delay In resigning with his old club , and bis
fmiuont throats to jump into the brother-
bood. But Manning neither scums to possess
the ' "open sosamo" to the way to the laurel
thicket , ns the poor Httlo Cowboys still con
tinue to gullopo toward the tureen. This Is
nil very funny when It is romomborctl that
before the season opened the only regret of
the Kansas City papers was thuttho team was
so strong that it would soon spoil all interest
in the r.iuo by getting so fur in the lead that
no other club could hope to catch them. They
have managed , with a showing of persistency
worthy of a bJttor course , to hug the tail end
up to date , and still thcro is no immediate
prospect of u betterment in their behalf.

the warm mud. > They arc a difficult bird to
kill. During the progress of inclement
weather in either the spring or full they are
most generally mot with on the margins
of the marshes they frequent , evi
dently seeking the shelter of the sent-
tcring uldcrs or pucker brush. On stn-li
occasions the man who can grass three out of
five shots is n dandy. By some gastronomes ,
the Wilson snipe is considered superior in
edible qualities to thu woodcock , but gencr-
crally the latter bird ranks first. The snipe ,
however , Is vastly better than the upland
plover , or nuy other bird that wears feathers
for that matter. There is no law regulating
snipe shooting in this state.
